OLEG

Posted on 11:18 by Harry
For some reason, I've had trouble lately editing in Blogger.  It won't let me see my post!  So the last one is incomplete.  Here is the photo of Oleg, and the description I wrote:

Wake up to sunshine every morning! Oleg is a cheerful, cooperative, boy with a positive attitude. He is courteous, helpful and considerate. Oleg is "all boy". While he is tiny for his age (12), he is muscular and strong. He is a confident swimmer and picked up skateboarding within twenty minutes of practice. Jumping on the trampoline, playing catch with the football, a game of soccer in the yard - he excelled at them all with a healthy competitive spirit. He also has great fine motor skills and deftly turned out a number of crisp and clever origami creations. Oleg is friendly and seems to get along with everyone, both girls and boys. He played beautifully with a five year old boy and has a blast with our teenaged sons. He handled some "bad attitude" from our thirteen year old daughter with good humor, giving as good as he got. He is spunky and funny. Educationally, he would do beautifully as a homeschooler, or in a school willing to be flexible. He speaks and reads Ukrainian and understands Russian. Our impression is that Oleg is quite bright but has not had much educational opportunity. We would adopt him in a minute if we weren't just over the allowed age. He is a jewel and would make a joyful addition to any family.
